First of all, I don't expect everyone to agree with our policies.
There are over 20 thousand visitors that come to MyCockpit.org and average around 200,000 hits a day, and I know there will be a few that disagree with how we do business. Unfortunately, they are usually the loudest and most heard and disruptive to our cause, as most everyone agreeable to our policies are quite.
The policies come from many years of experience dealing with electronic communications. I started in the mid 80's running a bulletinboard (1 line) with a C-64 and two 1 meg floppy disks. Soon to a dual C-128, two lines, and a 20 meg hard disk drive. Then to a DOS based system multi line BB. Eventually the internet came along and we were the first in our community to make available the internet (this was before the browsers were available).
My point is, it's been a learning experience, and as in my business management experiences, dealing in community involvement relationships and the online experiences..... " You can't please everyone."
I've said this before; My interest here is for fellow builders to help each other build their dreams and I believe we've done that very well.
Vendors, like our site, also can't please everyone, and it's unfortunate, those that are displeased with the not meeting their expectations speak the loudest. Most of the time we don't' hear of the positive side of our vendors and the exceptions they make for their customers. They too become frustrated.
Hopefully, I think you get my point.
We won't allow disruption of our goal and I know most of you stand behind MyCockpit.org policy.
